Making a promise to make the world more beautiful

Chanan Mazal who once lived "in the shadow of the George washington Bridge" (as did my father) now creates with light and shadows in the ancient city of lights, Jerusalem.

The pomegranate has been the focus of many artists' work. The Song of Solomon compares the cheeks of a bride behind her veil to the two halves of a pomegranate. They decorated the pillars of King Solomon's temple and the robes and regalia of Jewish kings and priests.

Collecting Jewish Art is a mitzvah...Not only will the collector announce to the visitor that homeowner is proud to be Jewish, but the collection supports artists and artisans whose handiwork praises our one G'd. Why not make it one of your promises for the coming year to begin or continue collecting Judaic art?

Your suggestion to help support Jewish art/artists is also a mitzvah! Our Jewish culture is kept alive, in part, by Jewish art and creative thought! Thank youRuth Shapirowww.mmezuzahjudaicajewelry.blogspot.com

Why is this blog different from all other blogs?

On all other blogs, Judaica is not featured. JJ offers collectors, shoppers, artists and wanderers alike a place to find inspiration- or simply the perfect gift. This blog will educate about the meaning of religious articles and the meaning of holidays. On JJ you may even learn to make your own Judaic items. Above all, you will share in the beauty of crafted items created under the guidance of G'd.
